class: bug: This is clearly an actual problem we want fixed.

We've received reports of the message "Server refused user authentication protocol" when attempting to connect to an ssh.com server (version string "SSH-2.0-3.2.0 SSH Secure Shell (non-commercial)") with compression enabled. Connection is fine when compression is disabled.

In the code, this message corresponds to not receiving the right response to a "ssh-userauth" service request in SSH-2.

We've also heard of problems with port-forwarding with compression enabled.

Update: We believe that the bug in talking to ssh.com 3.2 with compression enabled has been fixed as of 2002-08-09. We've had one confirmation.
